Subject: first double tap brown eyed women
correct me if i’m wrong here but I believe this is the first time ever that jerry continues a second solo in brown eyed women. first of the double taps.
...
later the triple taps came ferociously. as well known on 5/8/77

Werewolf comes in from the cold, rain and snow; never had much Aud. material. In fact, only one good one! (5.5.77) So it got worn thin... This site has

Thanx for the download, I have begun listening and it sounds great. However, I am curious as to why you tracked "Playin'" and "'Turkey" two different
...
ways? This took me an extra 30 minutes to figure out. I then deleted the 17min track.
Also, while we are on the topic of naming...
Does anyone burn CDs anymore?? Could we please name the files thusly;
01 Cold Rain & Snow
02 Cassidy
03 Deal
04 Mama Tried
05 Row Jimmy
06 Big River
07 Brown-Eyed Women
08 Looks Like Rain
09 Peggy-O
10 The Music Never Stopped
11 Scarlet Begonias
12 Playing In The Band--
13 Stronger Than Dirt Or Milkin' The Turkey--
14 Cosmic Charlie--
15 Samson & Delilah--
16 Spanish Jam--
17 Drums--
18 The Wheel--
19s2 Playing In The Band Reprise--
20 Around & Around
21 High Time
22 Sugar Magnolia
23e U.S. Blues
When we name the files as indicated above, then THE NAME of each file is the ACTUAL name of the song!!! Also, we will know the name of each song BEFORE putting them into whatever MP3 players we have!
I honestly cannot believe I am the only one who has ever thought of this, any comments would be gratefuly appreciated. (415) 563-4539, If u call, please leave contact info, so I can respond. Open Source, Sharing and Understanding...

The sense of warmth and presence in this recording is amazing...it's almost criminal to give this away for free. Row Jimmy is just exactly perfect.

Man - I am diggin the '76! groovy in tripped out jams, and with the last available Cosmic Charlie.
Really good sound quality for an AUD too... and the ... ambient crowd noise is a plus in my book - really gives you a feel for the show.

If you like Donna Jean's vocals, here's another reason to check this one out - she's in fine form on this one.

1976 is an under-rated year, but well-played, if at times a tad slow and tenative. This aud recording is really fun. I am not usually a big fan of AUDs,
...
but the sound is good enough tthat your almost there in the cozy confines of the Orpheum. I keep seeing the jam after PITB listed as "Stronger than Dirt", but the resemblance is vague, at least to my ears. There is some similarity, but the tempo and sound are different enough that I am not sure it qualifies. This is not to say it is a great jam whatever it is.

yeah, there is a nice warm and fuzzy feeling to the recording...when the music is playing. otherwise, between songs it is annoying as hell to listen to
...
all the heads screaming out stupid song requests.
the jam to finish scarlet is off the chain...
real nice. '76 is sooooo underrated/overshadowed.

Subject: F.O.Balcony AUD? Sounds Like A 20th Row FOB !!!
Jeez... One of the best Playin' > Milkin' I've ever heard. First time they ever sounded like ABB. Very different. And Cosmic Charlie and High Time
...
on top of it all...definitely The Boyz at their jazziest. Wow. With all this Archive accessability, I'm starting to fall in love '76.!!! I don't know how anybody can like anything after '84 after hearing this fabulous stuff? It's beyond me?
So let's get down to why I'm really reviewing this evening. We need to be a little more specific about this AUD guys. The Orpheum is a 2503 seat theater that is about as cozy as cozy can be. You couldn't get a closer 1st balcony seat anywhere in the country. Even with the best shotguns, in any other place this "balcony" recording would have quite a bit of air to it. Just check out 8.19.80 for comparison. THAT Chicago show is a true F.O.Balcony recording. It's probably the average 3000-3500 seat indoor setting. Well, the Orpheum is not your average indoor setting! But...
I was still quite surprised at the fidelity of this puppy when I started fooling with the EQ. Normally, you have to be very careful with the lowest frequencies, or you'll easily distort. I always have to bring them down on AUDs. Here, I brought the sliders wayyy up just for the hellofit...and to my total surprise, the sound held together. I have NEVER done that with an audience recording!
I am giving this beautiful recording five stars just for the sound alone. It's a damn good show, but with the fidelity as good as it is, it really makes this night a special animal. It's everything I look for in audience recordings. Thanks Bob. Damn fine job of capturing The Boyz! And thanks Chenner for directing me to this evening's entertainment. Hey Bob, any fun story about your recording the evening. Love those little war stories. :-)
